THE YACHTS AT MARBLEHEAD. A Pretty Sight fin the HarbOr Which the Fleet Reached With the VoIun. teer Far in the Lead.
 MARBLEHEAD, Aug. 9.-The Volunteer crossed the line at 7:45 this morning. She thus wins the $500 cup offered by Pierpont Morgan for first-class sloops in the one hun dred mile race of the New York Yacht club squadron from Marthas Vineyard to Marble head. When the Volunteer crawled over the line with scarcely wind enough to give her headway her rivals, the other great sloops, were hull down on the southern horizon, fully six miles astern. As the wind had been light since yesterday afternoon, when the yachts of the squadron were beating around Cape Cod, and even a dead calm prevailed for hours at the time along the south shore during the night, this result shows splendid work of the new sloop in light winds, while her windward sailing yesterday from Cross Rip to Highland light, in which she out pointed and outsailed every competitor, proves her to be without a rival in such wind as she has thus far had to sail in. Her time was 243l hours from the time of her start at
 
 $1, 900 cup offered by MT. Morgan to schoon- CTS.
 A hundred sail and steam craft lie at anchor in the harbor tonight from River head Beach to Point Neck light, their tall spars resembling forest, while the illumina- tions displayed from nearly all the vessels throw flood of lieht over the resting feet Since early morning there has been one cons tinuous belching forth of cannon not only from yachts in the harbor, but from the sur rounding shore, and enthusiasm has been wrought to high pitch. Tonight hundreds of people are vainly seeking means of con veyance to and around the yachts, all avail- able boats having been engaged in advance. At sundown the signal from the Electra ordered down signals and lights in position. As night came on the brilliant scene present ed was viewed by thousands from the head land and from the Great Neck shore. At the Eastern Yacht clubs house there were a large number of distinguished guests at SUD- per tonight. To morrow promises to be a great day, the programme including a recep tion, gig race, banquet, illumination, etc. All the present fleet will be here and will, no doubt, be augmented by half 8 hundred oth CTS that will come to witness the race of Thursday. Most of the owners of the yachts in to-day's race were ashore tonight. MT. Morgan of the Mayfower left for Boston this noon, but will return -to-morrow. A. CdSS CAuu6lQ or Cn6 GTlSCIllA S8lu GO-uay tuaG he was very sorry that the yachts did not have good breeze to-day and had there been he felt sure the order of crossing the finish line would have been different. The schoon- CTS Iroquois and America sailed for Boston this afternoon and have not yet returned. The Titania sprung her topmast and has gone to Boston for repairs. The arrangements for to morrow have not been fully completed, but meeting of captains will be held at Il o'clock to decide upon the details. A good racing day is promised Tor tomorrow.
